BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Swinepox virus (SPV) belongs to the family Poxviridae. Viruses belonging to this group are large, double-stranded DNA viruses that characteristically develop in the cytoplasm of the host cell. SPV is the only member of the genus Suipoxvirus. Several features distinguish SPV from other poxviruses. SPV exhibits species specificity (18) compared to other poxviruses such as vaccinia which exhibit a broad host range. SPV infection of tissue culture cell lines also differs dramatically from other poxviruses (24). It has also been demonstrated that SPV does not exhibit antigenic cross-reactivity with vaccinia virus and shows no gross detectable homology at the DNA level with the ortho, lepori, avi or entomopox virus groups (24). Accordingly, what is known and described in the prior art regarding other poxviruses does not pertain a priori to swinepox virus. SPV is only mildly pathogenic, being characterized by a self-limiting infection with lesions detected only in the skin and regional lymph nodes. Although the SPV infection is quite limited, pigs which have recovered from SPV are refractory to challenge with SPV, indicating development of active immunity (18).

The present invention concerns the use of SPV as a vector for the delivery of vaccine antigens and therapeutic agents to swine. The following properties of SPV support this rationale: SPV is only mildly pathogenic in swine, SPV is species specific, and SPV elicits a protective immune response. Accordingly, SPV is an excellent candidate for a viral vector delivery system, having little intrinsic risk which must be balanced against the benefit contributed by the vector's vaccine and therapeutic properties.

The prior art for this invention stems first from the ability to clone and analyze DNA while in bacterial plasmids. The techniques that are available are detailed for the most part in Maniatis et al., 1983 and Sambrook et al., 1989. These publications teach state of the art general recombinant DNA techniques.

Among the poxviruses, five (vaccinia, fowlpox, canarypox, pigeon, and raccoon pox) have been engineered, previous to this disclosure, to contain foreign DNA sequences. Vaccinia virus has been used extensively to vector foreign genes (25) and is the subject of U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,603,112 and 4,722,848. Similarly, fowlpox has been used to vector foreign genes and is the subject of several patent applications EPA 0 284 416, PCT WO 89/03429, and PCT WO 89/12684. Raccoon pox (10) and Canarypox (31) have been utilized to express antigens from the rabies virus. These examples of insertions of foreign genes into poxviruses do not include an example from the genus Suipoxvirus. Thus, they do not teach methods to genetically engineer swinepox viruses, that is, where to make insertions and how to get expression in swinepox virus.

The idea of using live viruses as delivery systems for antigens has a very long history going back to the first live virus vaccines. The antigens delivered were not foreign but were naturally expressed by the live virus in the vaccines. The use of viruses to deliver foreign antigens in the modern sense became obvious with the recombinant vaccinia virus studies. The vaccinia virus was the vector and various antigens from other disease causing viruses were the foreign antigens, and the vaccine was created by genetic engineering. While the concept became obvious with these disclosures, what was not obvious was the answer to a more practical question of what makes the best candidate virus vector. In answering this question, details of the pathogenicity of the virus, its site of replication, the kind of immune response it elicits, the potential it has to express foreign antigens, its suitability for genetic engineering, its probability of being licensed by regulatory agencies, etc, are all factors in the selection. The prior art does not teach these questions of utility.

The prior art relating to the use of poxviruses to deliver therapeutic agents relates to the use of a vaccinia virus to deliver interleukin-2 (12). In this case, although the interleukin-2 had an attenuating effect on the vaccinia vector, the host did not demonstrate any therapeutic benefit.

The therapeutic agent that is delivered by a viral vector of the present invention must be a biological molecule that is a by-product of swinepox virus replication. This limits the therapeutic agent in the first analysis to either DNA, RNA or protein. There are examples of therapeutic agents from each of these classes of compounds in the form of anti-sense DNA, anti-sense RNA (16), ribozymes (34), suppressor tRNAs (2), interferon-inducing double stranded RNA and numerous examples of protein therapeutics, from hormones, e.g., insulin, to lymphokines, e.g., interferons and interleukins, to natural opiates. The discovery of these therapeutic agents and the elucidation of their structure and function does not make obvious the ability to use them in a viral vector delivery system.

EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS

Materials and Methods

PREPARATION OF SWINEPOX VIRUS STOCK SAMPLES. Swinepox virus (SPV) samples were prepared by infecting embryonic swine kidney (EMSK) cells, ESK-4 cells, PK-15 cells or Vero cells at a multiplicity of infection of 0.01 PFU/cell in a 1:1 mixture of Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) and RPMI 1640 medium containing 2 mM glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 units/ml streptomycin (these components were obtained from Sigma or equivalent supplier, and hereafter are referred to as EMSK negative medium). Prior to infection, the cell monolayers were washed once with EMSK negative medium to remove traces of fetal bovine serum. The SPV contained in the initial inoculum (0.5 ml for 10 cm plate; 10 ml for T175 cm flask) was then allowed to absorb onto the cell monolayer for two hours, being redistributed every half hour. After this period, the original inoculum was brought up to the recommended volume with the addition of complete EMSK medium (EMSK negative medium plus 5% fetal bovine serum). The plates were incubated at 37° C. in 5% CO₂ until cytopathic effect was complete. The medium and cells were harvested and frozen in a 50 ml conical screw cap tube at -70° C. Upon thawing at 37° C., the virus stock was aliquoted into 1.0 ml vials and refrozen at -70° C. The titers were usually about 106 PFU/ml.

PREPARATION OF SPV DNA. For swinepox virus DNA isolation, a confluent monolayer of EMSK cells in a T175 cm² flask was infected at a multiplicity of 0.1 and incubated 4-6 days until the cells were showing 100% cytopathic effect. The infected cells were then harvested by scraping the cells into the medium and centrifuging at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes in a clinical centrifuge. The medium was decanted, and the cell pellet was gently resuspended in 1.0 ml Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS: 1.5 g Na₂ HPO₄, 0.2 g KH₂ PO₄, 0.8 g NaCL and 0.2 g KCl per liter H₂ O) (per T175) and subjected to two successive freeze-thaws (-70° C. to 37° C.). Upon the last thaw, the cells (on ice) were sonicated two times for 30 seconds each with 45 seconds cooling time in between. Cellular debris was then removed by centrifuging (Sorvall RC-5B superspeed centrifuge) at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes in a HB4 rotor at 4° C. SPV virions, present in the supernatant, were then pelleted by centrifugation at 15,000 rpm for 20 minutes at 4° C. in a SS34 rotor (Sorvall) and resuspended in 10 mM Tris (pH 7.5). This fraction was then layered onto a 36% sucrose gradient (w/v in 10 mM tris pH 7.5) and centrifuged (Beckman L8-70M Ultracentrifuge) at 18,000 rpm for 60 minutes in a SW41 rotor (Beckman) at 4° C. The virion pellet was resuspended in 1.0 ml of 10 mM tris pH 7.5 and sonicated on ice for 30 seconds. This fraction was layered onto a 20% to 50% continuous sucrose gradient and centrifuged 16,000 rpm for 60 minutes in a SW41 rotor at 4° C. The SPV virion band located about three quarters down the gradient was harvested, diluted with 20% sucrose and pelleted by centrifugation at 18,000 rpm for 60 minutes in a SW41 rotor at 4° C. The resultant pellet was then washed once with 10 mM Tris pH 7.5 to remove traces of sucrose and finally resuspended in 10 mM Tris pH 7.5. SPV DNA was then extracted from the purified virions by lysis (4 hours at 60° C.) induced by the addition of EDTA, SDS, and proteinase K to final concentrations of 20 mM, 0.5% and 0.5 mg/ml, respectively. After digestion, three phenol:chloroform (1:1) extractions were conducted and the sample precipitated by the addition of two volumes of absolute ethanol and incubation at -20° C. for 30 minutes. The sample was then centrifuged in an Eppendorf minifuge for 5 minutes at full speed. The supernatant was decanted, and the pellet air dried and rehydrated in 0.01 M Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA at 4° C.

PREPARATION OF INFECTED CELL LYSATES. For cell lysate preparation, serum free medium was used. A confluent monolayer of cells (EMSK, ESK-4, PK-15 or Vero for SPV or VERO for PRV) in a 25 cm² flask or a 60 mm petri dish was infected with 100 μl of virus sample. After cytopathic effect was complete, the medium and cells were harvested and the cells were pelleted at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes in a clinical centrifuge. The cell pellet was resuspended in 250 μl of disruption buffer (2% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 2% β-mercapto-ethanol). The samples were sonicated for 30 seconds on ice and stored at -20° C.

WESTERN BLOTTING PROCEDURE. Samples of lysates and protein standards were run on a polyacrylamide gel according to the procedure of Laemnli (1970). After gel electrophoresis the proteins were transferred and processed according to Sambrook et al. (1982). The primary antibody was a swine anti-PRV serum (Shope strain; lot370, PDV8201, NVSL, Ames, IA) diluted 1:100 with 5% non-fat dry milk in Tris-sodium chloride, and sodium Azide (TSA: 6.61 g Tris-HCl, 0.97 g Tris-base, 9.0 g NaCl and 2.0 g Sodium Azide per liter H₂ O). The secondary antibody was a goat anti-swine alkaline phosphatase conjugate diluted 1:1000 with TSA.

MOLECULAR BIOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES. Techniques for the manipulation of bacteria and DNA, including such procedures as digestion with restriction endonucleases, gel electrophoresis, extraction of DNA from gels, ligation, phosphorylation with kinase, treatment with phosphatase, growth of bacterial cultures, transformation of bacteria with DNA, and other molecular biological methods are described by Maniatis et al. (1982) and Sambrook et al. (1989). Except as noted, these were used with minor variation.

DNA SEQUENCING. Sequencing was performed using the USB Sequenase Kit and ³⁵ S-dATP (NEN). Reactions using both the dGTP mixes and the dITP mixes were performed to clarify areas of compression. Alternatively, compressed areas were resolved on formamide gels. Templates were double-stranded plasmid subclones or single stranded M13 subclones, and primers were either made to the vector just outside the insert to be sequenced, or to previously obtained sequence. Sequence obtained was assembled and compared using Dnastar software. Manipulation and comparison of sequences obtained was performed with Superclone™ and Supersee™ programs from Coral Software.

CLONING WITH THE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to introduce restriction sites convenient for the manipulation of various DNAs. The procedures used are described by Innis, et al. (1990). In general, amplified fragments were less than 500 base pairs in size and critical regions of amplified fragments were confirmed by DNA sequencing. The primers used in each case are detailed in the descriptions of the construction of homology vectors below.

HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT SPV. This method relies upon the homologous recombination between the swinepox virus DNA and the plasmid homology vector DNA which occurs in the tissue culture cells containing both swinepox virus DNA and transfected plasmid homology vector. For homologous recombination to occur, the monolayers of EMSK cells are infected with S-SPV-001 (Kasza SPV strain, 17) at a multiplicity of infection of 0.01 PFU/cell to introduce replicating SPV (i.e. DNA synthesis) into the cells. The plasmid homology vector DNA is then transfected into these cells according to the INFECTION--TRANSFECTION PROCEDURE. The construction of homology vectors used in this procedure is described below

INFECTION--TRANSFECTION PROCEDURE. 6 cm plates of EMSK cells (about 80% confluent) were infected with S-SPV-001 at a multiplicity of infection of 0.01 PFU/cell in EMSK negative medium and incubated at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO₂ environment for 5 hours. The transfection procedure used is essentially that recommended for Lipofectin™ Reagent (BRL). Briefly, for each 6 cm plate, 15 μg of plasmid DNA was diluted up to 100 μl with H₂ O. Separately, 50 micrograms of Lipofectin Reagent was diluted to 100 μl with H₂ O. The 100 μl of diluted Lipofectin Reagent was then added dropwise to the diluted plasmid DNA contained in a polystyrene 5 ml snap cap tube and mixed gently. The mixture was then incubated for 15-20 minutes at room temperature. During this time, the virus inoculum was removed from the 6 cm plates and the cell monolayers washed once with EMSK negative medium. Three ml of EMSK negative medium was then added to the plasmid DNA/lipofectin mixture and the contents pipetted onto the cell monolayer. The cells were incubated overnight (about 16 hours) at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO₂ environment. The next day the 3 ml of EMSK negative medium was removed and replaced with 5 ml EMSK complete medium. The cells were incubated at 37° C. in 5% CO₂ for 3-7 days until cytopathic effect from the virus was 80-100%. Virus was harvested as described above for the preparation of virus stocks. This stock was referred to as a transfection stock and was subsequently screened for recombinant virus by the BLUOGAL SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT SWINEPOX VIRUS OR CPRG SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT SWINEPOX VIRUS.

SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT SPV EXPRESSING β-galactosidase (BLUOGAL AND CPRG ASSAYS). When the E. coli β-galactosidase (lacZ) marker gene was incorporated into a recombinant virus the plaques containing the recombinants were visualized by one of two simple methods. In the first method, the chemical Bluogal™ (Bethesda Research Labs) was incorporated (200 μg/ml) into the agarose overlay during the plaque assay, and plaques expressing active β-galactosidase turned blue. The blue plaques were then picked onto fresh cells (EMSK) and purified by further blue plaque isolation. In the second method, CPRG (Boehringer Mannheim) was incorporated (400 μg/ml) into the agarose overlay during the plaque assay, and plaques expressing active β-galactosidase turned red. The red plaques were then picked onto fresh cells (EMSK) and purified by further red plaque isolation. In both cases viruses were typically purified with three rounds of plaque purification.

SCREEN FOR FOREIGN GENE EXPRESSION IN RECOMBINANT SPV USING BLACK PLAQUE ASSAYS. To analyze expression of foreign antigens expressed by recombinant swinepox viruses, monolayers of EMSK cells were infected with recombinant SPV, overlayed with nutrient agarose media and incubated for 6-7 days at 37° C. for plaque development to occur. The agarose overlay was then removed from the dish, the cells fixed with 100% methanol for 10 minutes at room temperature and the cells air dried. Fixation of the cells results in cytoplasmic antigen as well as surface antigen detection whereas specific surface antigen expression can be detected using non-fixed cells. The primary antibody was then diluted to the appropriate dilution with PBS and incubated on the cell monolayer for 2 hours at room temperature. To detect PRV g50 (gD) expression from S-SPV-008, swine anti-PRV serum (Shope strain; lot370, PDV8201, NVSL, Ames, IA) was used (diluted 1:100). To detect NDV HN expression from S-SPV-009, a rabbit antiserum specific for the HN protein (rabbit anti-NDV#2) was used (diluted 1:1000). Unbound antibody was then removed by washing the cells three times with PBS at room temperature. The secondary antibody, either a goat anti-swine (PRV g50 (gD); S-SPV-008) or goat anti-rabbit (NDV HN; S-SPV-009), horseradish peroxidase conjugate was diluted 1:250 with PBS and incubated with the cells for 2 hours at room temperature. Unbound secondary antibody was then removed by washing the cells three times with PBS at room temperature. The cells were then incubated 15-30 minutes at room temperature with freshly prepared substrate solution (100 μg/ml 4-chloro-1-naphthol, 0.003% H₂ O₂ in PBS). Plaques expressing the correct antigen stain black.

PROCEDURE FOR PURIFICATION OF VIRAL GLYCOPROTEINS FOR USE AS DIAGNOSTICS. Viral glycoproteins are purified using antibody affinity columns. To produce monoclonal antibodies, 8 to 10 week old BALB/c female mice are vaccinated intraperitoneally seven times at two to four week intervals with 10⁷ PFU of S-SPV-009, -014, -016, -017, -018, or -019. Three weeks after the last vaccination, mice are injected intraperitoneally with 40 mg of the corresponding viral glycoprotein. Spleens are removed from the mice three days after the last antigen dose.

Splenocytes are fused with mouse NS1/Ag4 plasmacytoma cells by the procedure modified from Oi and Herzenberg, (41). Splenocytes and plasmacytoma cells are pelleted together by centrifugation at 300×g for 10 minutes. One ml of a 50% solution of polyethylene glycol (m.w. 1300-1600) is added to the cell pellet with stirring over one minute. Dulbecco's modified Eagles's medium (5 ml) is added to the cells over three minutes. Cells are pelleted by centrifugation at 300×g for 10 minutes and resuspended in medium with 10% fetal bovine serum and containing 100 mM hypoxanthine, 0.4 mM aminopterin and 16 mM thymidine (HAT).

A glycoprotein antigen solution (100 ml at ng/ml in PBS) is allowed to absorb to the wells of microtiter dishes for 18 hours at 4° C. The coated wells are rinsed one time with PBS. Wells are blocked by adding 250 ml of PBS containing 1% BSA (Sigma) and incubating 1 hour at 37° C. The blocked wells are rinsed one time with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20. 50 ml of test serum (previously diluted 1:2 in PBS containing 1% BSA) are added to the wells and incubated 1 hour at 37° C. The antiserum is removed and the wells are washed 3 times with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20. 50 ml of a solution containing anti-bovine IgG coupled to horseradish peroxidase (diluted 1:500 in PBS containing 1% BSA, Kirkegaard and Perry Laboratories, Inc.) is added to visualize the wells containing antibody against the specific antigen. The solution is incubated 1 hour at 37° C., then removed and the wells are washed 3 times with PBS containing 0.02% Tween 20. 100 ml of substrate solution (ATBS, Kirkegaard and Perry Laboratories, Inc.) are added to each well and color is allowed to develop for 15 minutes. The reaction is terminated by addition of 0.1M oxalic acid. The color is read at absorbance 410nm on an automatic plate reader.

STRATEGY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SYNTHETIC POX VIRAL PROMOTERS. For recombinant swinepox vectors synthetic pox promoters offer several advantages including the ability to control the strength and timing of foreign gene expression. Three promoter cassettes LP1, EP1 and LP2 based on promoters that have been defined in the vaccinia virus (1, 7 and 8) were designed. Each cassette was designed to contain the DNA sequences defined in vaccinia flanked by restriction sites which could be used to combine the cassettes in any order or combination. Initiator methionines were also designed into each cassette such that inframe fusions could be made at either EcoRI or BamHI sites. A set of translational stop codons in all three reading frames and an early transcriptional termination signal (9) were also engineered downstream of the inframe fusion site. DNA encoding each cassette was synthesized according to standard techniques and cloned into the appropriate homology vectors (see FIGS. 4, 5 and 8).

EXAMPLES Example 1

Homology Vector 515-85.1. The homology vector 515-85.1 is a plasmid useful for the insertion of foreign DNA into SPV. Plasmid 515-85.1 contains a unique AccI restriction site into which foreign DNA may be cloned. A plasmid containing such a foreign DNA insert may be used according to the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT SPV to generate a SPV containing the foreign DNA. For this procedure to be successful it is important that the insertion site (AccI) be in a region non-essential to the replication of the SPV and that the site be flanked with swinepox virus DNA appropriate for mediating homologous recombination between virus and plasmid DNAs. AccI site in homology vector 515-85.1 is used to insert foreign DNA into at least three recombinant SPV (see examples 2-4).

In order to define an appropriate insertion site, a library of SPV HindIII restriction fragments was generated. Several of these restriction fragments (HindIII fragments G, J, and M see FIGS. 1A-1B) were subjected to restriction mapping analysis. Two restriction sites were identified in each fragment as potential insertion sites. These sites included HpaI and NruI in fragment G, BalI and XbaI in fragment J, and AccI and PstI in fragment M. A β-galactosidase (lacZ) marker gene was inserted in each of the potential sites. The resulting plasmids were utilized in the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT SPV. The generation of recombinant virus was determined by the SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT SPV EXPRESSING β-GALACTOSIDASE ASSAYS. Four of the six sites were found to generate recombinant virus, however the ability of each of these viruses to be purified away from the parental SPV varied greatly. In one case virus could not be purified above the level of 1%, in another case virus could not be purified above the level of 50%, and in a third case virus could not be purified above the level of 90%. The inability to purify these viruses indicates instability at the insertion site. This makes the corresponding sites inappropriate for insertion of foreign DNA. However the insertion at one site, the AccI site of Homology vector 515-85.1, resulted in a virus which was easily purified to 100% (see example 2), clearly defining an appropriate site for the insertion of foreign DNA.

The homology vector 515-85.1 was further characterized by DNA sequence analysis. Two regions of the homology vector were sequenced. The first region covers a 599 base pair sequence which flanks the unique AccI site (see FIGS. 2A and 2B). The second region covers the 899 base pairs upstream of the unique HindIII site (see FIGS. 2A and 2B). The sequence of the first region codes for an open reading frame (ORF) which shows homology to amino acids 1 to 115 of the vaccinia virus (VV) O1L open reading frame identified by Goebel et al, 1990 (see FIGS. 3A-3C). The sequence of the second region codes for an open reading frame which shows homology to amino acids 568 to 666 of the same vaccinia virus O1L open reading frame (see FIGS. 3A-3C). These data suggest that the AccI site interrupts the presumptive VV O1L-like ORF at approximately amino acid 41, suggesting that this ORF codes for a gene nonessential for SPV replication. Goebel et al. suggest that the VV O1L ORF contains a leucine zipper motif characteristic of certain eukaryotic transcriptional regulatory proteins, however they indicate that it is not known whether this gene is essential for virus replication.

The DNA sequence located upstream of the VV 01L-like ORF (see FIG. 2A) would be expected to contain a swinepox viral promoter. This swinepox viral promoter will be useful as the control element of foreign DNA introduced into the swinepox genome.

S-SPV-003

S-SPV-003 is a swinepox virus that expresses a foreign gene. The gene for E.coli β-galactosidase (lacZ gene) was inserted into the SPV 515-85.1 ORF. The foreign gene (lacZ) is under the control of a synthetic early/late promoter (EP1LP2).

The transfection stock was screened by the SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT SPV EXPRESSING β-GALACTOSIDASE (BLUOGAL AND CPRG ASSAYS). The final result of red plaque purification was the recombinant virus designated S-SPV-003. This virus was assayed for β-galactosidase expression, purity, and insert stability by multiple passages monitored by the blue plaque assay as described in Materials and Methods. After the initial three rounds of purification, all plaques observed were blue indicating that the virus was pure, stable and expressing the foreign gene. The assays described here were carried out in VERO cells as well as EMSK cells, indicating that VERO cells would be a suitable substrate for the production of SPV recombinant vaccines. S-SPV-003 has been deposited with the ATCC under Accession No. VR 2335.

S-SPV-008

S-SPV-008 is a swinepox virus that expresses at least two foreign genes. The gene for E. coli β-galactosidase (lacZ gene) and the gene for pseudorabies virus (PRV) g50 (gD) (26) were inserted into the SPV 515-85.1 ORF. The lacZ gene is under the control of a synthetic late promoter (LP1) and the g50 (gD) gene is under the control of a synthetic early/late promoter (EP1LP2). S-SPV-008 was derived from S-SPV-001 (Kasza strain). This was accomplished utilizing the homology vector 538-46.16 (see Materials and Methods) and virus S-SPV-001 in the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT SPV. The transfection stock was screened by the SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT SPV EXPRESSING β-GALACTOSIDASE (BLUOGAL AND CPRG ASSAYS). The final result of red plaque purification was the recombinant virus designated S-SPV-008. This virus was assayed for β-galactosidase expression, purity, and insert stability by multiple passages monitored by the blue plaque assay as described in Materials and Methods. After the initial three rounds of purification, all plaques observed were blue indicating that the virus was pure, stable and expressing the marker gene.

S-SPV-008 was assayed for expression of PRV specific antigens using the BLACK PLAQUE SCREEN FOR FOREIGN GENE EXPRESSION IN RECOMBINANT SPV. Swine anti-PRV serum was shown to react specifically with S-SPV-008 plaques and not with S-SPV-009 negative control plaques. All S-SPV-008 observed plaques reacted with the swine antiserum indicating that the virus was stably expressing the PRV foreign gene. The black plaque assay was also performed on unfixed monolayers. The SPV plaques on the unfixed monolayers also exhibited specific reactivity with swine anti-PRV serum indicating that the PRV antigen is expressed on the infected cell surface.

To confirm the expression of the PRV g50 (gD) gene product, cells were infected with SPV and samples of infected cell lysates were subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gel was blotted and analyzed using the WESTERN BLOTTING PROCEDURE. The swine anti-PRV serum was used to detect expression of PRV specific proteins. As shown in FIG. 6, the lysate from S-SPV-008 infected cells exhibits a specific band of approximately 48 kd, the reported size of PRV g50 (gD) (35).

PRV g50 (gD) is the g50 (gD) homologue of HSV-1 (26). Several investigators have shown that VV expressing HSV-1 g50 (gD) will protect mice against challenge with HSV-1 (6 and 34). Therefore the S-SPV-008 should be valuable as a vaccine to protect swine against PRV disease.

It is anticipated that several other PRV glycoproteins will be useful in the creation of recombinant swinepox vaccines to protect against PRV disease. These PRV glycoproteins include gII (28), gIII (27), and gH (19). The PRV gIII coding region has been engineered behind several synthetic pox promoters. The techniques utilized for the creation of S-SPV-008 will be used to create recombinant swinepox viruses expressing all four of these PRV glycoprotein genes. Such recombinant swinepox viruses will be useful as vaccines against PRV disease. Since the PRV vaccines described here do not express PRV gX or gI, they would be compatible with current PRV diagnostic tests (gX HerdChek®, gI HerdChek® and ClinEase®) which are utilized to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals. S-SPV-008 has been deposited with the ATCC under Accession No. VR 2339.

S-SPV-0ll

S-SPV-011 is a swinepox virus that expresses at least two foreign genes. The gene for E. coli β-galactosidase (lacZ) and the gene for pseudorabies virus gIII (gC) were inserted into the unique PstI restriction site (PstI linkers inserted into a unique AccI site) of the homology vector 570-33.32. The lac Z gene is under the control of the synthetic late promoter (LP1) and the PRV gIII (gC) gene is under the control of the synthetic early promoter (EP2).

S-SPV-011 was derived from S-SPV-001 (Kasza Strain) This was accomplished utilizing the homology vector 570-91.21 (see Materials and Methods) and virus S-SPV-001 in the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT SPV. The transfection stock was screened by the SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT SPV EXPRESSING β-galactosidase (BLUOGAL AND CPRG ASSAYS). The final result of red plaque purification was the recombinant virus designated S-SPV-011. This virus was assayed for β-galactosidase expression, purity, and insert stability by multiple passages monitored by the blue plaque assay as described in Materials and Methods. After the initial three rounds of purification, all plaques observed were blue indicating that the virus was pure, stable, and expressing the foreign gene.

S-SPV-011 was assayed for expression of PRV specific antigens using the BLACK PLAQUE SCREEN FOR FOREIGN GENE EXPRESSION IN RECOMBINANT SPV. Polyclonal goat anti-PRV gIII (gC) antibody was shown to react specifically with S-SPV-011 plaques and not with S-SPV-001 negative control plaques. All S-SPV-011 observed plaques reacted with the swine anti-PRV serum indicating that the virus was stably expressing the PRV foreign gene. The assays described here were carried out in EMSK cells, indicating that EMSK cells would be a suitable substrate for the production of SPV recombinant vaccines.

To confirm the expression of the PRV gIII (gC) gene product, cells were infected with SPV and samples of infected cell lysates were subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gel was blotted and analyzed using the WESTERN BLOTTING PROCEDURE. Polyclonal goat anti-PRV gIII (gC) antibody was used to detect expression of PRV specific proteins. As shown in FIG. 16, the lysate from S-SPV-011 infected cells exhibits a specific band of approximately 92 kd, the reported size of PRV gIII (gC) (37).

Recombinant-expressed PRV gIII (gC) has been shown to elicit a significant immune response in mice and swine (37, 38). Furthermore, when gIII (gC) is coexpressed with gII (gB) or g50 (gD), significant protection from challenge with virulent PRV is obtained (39). Therefore S-SPV-011 should be valuable as a vaccine to protect swine against PRV disease. Since the PRV vaccines described here do not express PRV gX or gI, they would be compatible with current PRV diagnostic tests (gX HerdChek®, gI HerdChek® and ClinEase®) which are utilized to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals.

Protection against Aujeszky's disease using recombinant swinepox virus vaccines S-SPV-008 and S-SPV-013.

A vaccine containing S-SPV-008 and S-SPV-013 (1×10⁶ PFU/ml) (2 ml of a 1:1 mixture of the two viruses) was given to two groups of pigs (5 pigs per group) by intradermal inoculation or by oral/pharyngeal spray. A control group of 5 pigs received S-SPV-001 by both intradermal and oral/pharyngeal inoculation. Pigs were challenged three weeks post-vaccination with virulent PRV, strain 4892, by intranasal inoculation. The table presents a summary of clinical responses. The data support an increase in protection against Aujeszky's disease in the S-SPV-008/S-SPV-013 vaccinates compared to the S-SPV-001 vaccinate controls.

S-SPV-015

S-SPV-015 is a swinepox virus that expresses at least two foreign genes. The gene for E. coli β-galactosidase (lacZ) and the gene for pseudorabies virus (PRV) gII (gB) were inserted into the SPV 617-48.1 ORF (a unique NotI restriction site has replaced a unique AccI restriction site). The lacZ gene is under the control of the synthetic late promoter (LP1), and the PRV gB gene is under the control of the synthetic late/early promoter (LP2EP2).

S-SPV-015 was derived from S-SPV-001 (Kasza Strain). This was accomplished utilizing the homology vector 727-54.60 (see Materials and Methods) and virus S-SPV-001 in the HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION PROCEDURE FOR GENERATING RECOMBINANT SPV. The transfection stock was screened by the SCREEN FOR RECOMBINANT SPV EXPRESSING β-galactosidase (BLUOGAL AND CPRG ASSAYS). The final result of red plaque purification was the recombinant virus designated S-SPV-015. This virus was assayed for β-galactosidase expression, purity, and insert stability by multiple passages monitored by the blue plaque assay as described in Materials and Methods. After the initial three rounds of purification, all plaques observed were blue indicating that the virus was pure, stable, and expressing the foreign gene.

S-SPV-015 was assayed for expression of PRV-specific antigens using the BLACK PLAQUE SCREEN FOR FOREIGN GENE EXPRESSION IN RECOMBINANT SPV. Polyclonal swine anti-PRV serum was shown to react specifically with S-SPV-015 plaques and not with S-SPV-001 negative control plaques. All S-SPV-015 observed plaques reacted with the antiserum indicating that the virus was stably expressing the PRV foreign gene. The assays described here were carried out in ESK-4 cells, indicating that ESK-4 cells would be a suitable substrate for the production of SPV recombinant vaccines.

To confirm the expression of the PRV gII gene product, cells were infected with SPV-015 and samples of infected cell lysates were subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gel was blotted and analyzed using the WESTERN BLOTTING PROCEDURE. Polyclonal swine anti-PRV serum was used to detect expression of PRV specific proteins. The lysate from S-SPV-015 infected cells exhibited bands corresponding to 120 kd, 67 kd and 58 kd, which are the expected size of the PRV gII glycoprotein. S-SPV-015 is useful as a vaccine in swine against pseudorabies virus. A superior vaccine is formulated by combining S-SPV-008 (PRV g50), S-SPV-013 (PRV gIII), and S-SPV-015 for protection against pseudorabies in swine.

Therefore S-SPV-015 should be valuable as a vaccine to protect swine against PRV disease. Since the PRV vaccines described here do not express PRV gX or gI, they would be compatible with current PRV diagnostic tests (gX HerdChek®, gI HerdChek® and ClinEase®) which are utilized to distinguish vaccinated animals from infected animals. S-SPV-015 has been deposited with the ATCC under Accession No. 2466.

Recombinant swinepox virus expressing more than one pseudorabies virus (PRV) glycoproteins, which can elicit production of neutralizing antibodies against pseudorabies virus, is constructed in order to obtain a recombinant swinepox virus with enhanced ability to protect against PRV infection than that which can be obtained by using a recombinant swinepox virus expressing only one of those PRV glycoproteins.

There are several examples of such recombinant swinepox virus expressing more than one PRV glycoproteins: a recombinant swinepox virus expressing PRV g50 (gD) and gIII (gC), a recombinant swinepox virus expressing PRV g50 (gD) and gII (gB); a recombinant swinepox virus expressing PRV gII (gB) and gIII (gC); and a recombinant swinepox virus expressing PRV g50 (gD), gIII (gC) and gII (gB). Each of the viruses cited above is also engineered to contain and express E. coli β-galactosidase (lac Z) gene, which will facilitate the cloning of the recombinant swinepox virus.

PRV g50 (gD) gene is under the control of a synthetic early/late promoter (EP1LP2), PRV gIII (gC) gene is under the control of a synthetic early/late promoter (EP1LP2), PRV gII (gB) gene is under the control of a synthetic late/early promoter (LP2EP2) and lacZ gene is under the control of a synthetic late promoter (LP1).

c) Recombinant swinepox virus containing and expressing PRV g50 (gD) gene, PRV gIII (gC) gene, PRV gII (gB) gene and lacZ gene. All four genes are inserted into the unique AccI restriction endonuclease site within the HindIII M fragment of the swinepox virus genome. PRV g50 (gD) gene is under the control of a synthetic early/late promoter (EP1LP2), PRV gIII (gC) gene is under the control of a synthetic late/early promoter (LP2EP2), PRV gII (gB) gene is under the control of a synthetic late/early promoter (LP2EP2) and lacZ gene is under the control of a synthetic late promoter (LP1).

Protection against Aujeszky's disease using recombinant swinepox virus vaccines S-SPV-008, S-SPV-013 and S-SPV-015.

A vaccine containing S-SPV-008, S-SPV-013, or S-SPV-015 (2 ml of 1×10⁷ PFU/ml of the virus) or a mixture of S-SPV-008, S-SPV-013, and S-SPV-015 (2 ml of a 1:1:1 mixture of the three viruses; 1×10⁷ PFU/ml) was given to four groups of pigs (5 pigs per group) by intramuscular inoculation. A control group of 5 pigs received S-SPV-001 by intramuscular inoculation. Pigs were challenged four weeks post-vaccination with virulent PRV, strain 4892, by intranasal inoculation.

Human vaccines using recombinant swinepox virus as a vector

Recombinant swinepox virus is useful as a vaccine against human diseases. For example, human influenza virus is a rapidly evolving virus whose neutralizing viral epitopes rapidly change. A useful recombinant swinepox vaccine is one in which the influenza virus neutralizing epitopes are quickly adapted by recombinant DNA techniques to protect against new strains of influenza virus. Human influenza virus hemagglutinin (HN) and neuraminidase (NA) genes are cloned into the swinepox virus as described in CLONING OF EQUINE INFLUENZA VIRUS HEMAGGLUTININ AND NEURAMINIDASE GENES (See Materials and Methods and Example 17).

Recombinant swinepox virus is useful as a vaccine against other human diseases when foreign antigens from the following diseases or disease organisms are expressed in the swinepox virus vector: hepatitis B virus surface and core antigens, hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus, human herpesviruses, herpes simplex virus-1, herpes simplex virus-2, human cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, Varicella-Zoster virus, human herpesvirus-6, human herpesvirus-7, human influenza, measles virus, hantaan virus, pneumonia virus, rhinovirs, poliovirus, human respiratory syncytial virus, retrovirus, human T-cell leukemia virus, rabies virus, mumps virus, malaria (Plasmodium falciparum), Bordetelia pertussis, Diptheria, Rickettsia prowazekii, Porrelia bergdorferi, Tetanus toxoid, malignant tumor antigens.

Cytopathic effect of swinepox virus was observed on the THP human monocyte cells, indicating that recombinant swinepox virus can express foreign genes in a human cell line, but will not productively infect or replicated in the human cell line. Swinepox virus was demonstrated to replicate well in ESK-4 cells (embryonic swine kidney) indicating that ESK-4 cells would be a suitable substrate for the production of SPV recombinant vaccines.

Conclusions:

1. Recombinant swinepox viruses express biologically active chicken interferon into the supernatants of infected cells, as measured by protection of CEF cells from VSV infection.

2. Chicken interferon expressed in supernatants from recombinant SPV/cIFN infected cells has been shown to protect CEF cells against infection with HVT in a dose dependent manner.

3. Chicken interferon expressed from SPV/cIFN acted synergistically with LPS to activate chicken macrophages as detected by nitric oxide induction.

4. The foregoing data indicate that recombinant swinepox viruses expressing chicken IFN may have beneficial applications as immune modulating agents in vitro, in vivo and in ovo.

As an alternative to the construction of a IBD vaccine using a viral vectored delivery system and/or subunit approaches, IBD virus RNA is directly manipulated reconstructing the virus using full length RNA derived from cDNA clones representing both the large (segment A) and small (segment B) double-stranded RNA subunits. Generation of IBD virus is this manner offers several advantages over the first two approaches. First, if IBD virus is re-generated using RNA templates, one is able to manipulate the cloned cDNA copies of the viral genome prior to transcription (generation of RNA). Using this approach, it is possible to either attenuate a virulent IBD strain or replace the VP2 variable region of the attenuated vaccine backbone with that of virulent strains. In doing so, the present invention provides protection against the virulent IBDV strain while providing the safety and efficacy of the vaccine strain. Furthermore, using this approach, the present invention constructs and tests temperature sensitive IBD viruses generated using the RNA polymerase derived from the related birnavirus infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and the polyprotein derived from IBDV. The IPNV polymerase has optimum activity at a temperature lower than that of IBDV. If the IPNV polymerase recognizes the regulatory signals present on IBDV, the hybrid virus is expected to be attenuated at the elevated temperature present in chickens. Alternatively, it is possible to construct and test IBD viruses generated using the RNA polymerase derived from IBDV serotype 2 viruse and the polyprotein derived from IBDVserotype 1 virus.

cDNA clones representing the complete genome of IBDV (double stranded RNA segments A and B) is constructed, initially using the BursaVac vaccine strain (Sterwin Labs). Once cDNA clones representing full length copies of segment A and B are constructed, template RNA is prepared. Since IBDV exists as a bisegmented double-stranded RNA virus, both the sense and anti-sense RNA strands of each segment are produced using the pBlueScript plasmid; Stratagene, Inc.). These vectors utilize the highly specific phage promoters SP6 or T7 to produce substrate amounts of RNA in vitro. A unique restriction endonuclease site is engineered into the 3' PCR primer to linearize the DNA for the generation of run-off transcripts during transcription.

The purified RNA transcripts (4 strands) are transfected into chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF) cells to determine whether the RNA is infectious. If IBD virus is generated, as determined by black plaque assays using IBDV specific Mabs, no further manipulations are required and engineering of the vaccine strain can commence. The advantage of this method is that engineered IBD viruses generated in this manner will be pure and require little/no purification, greatly decreasing the time required to generate new vaccines. If negative results are obtained using the purified RNA's, functional viral RNA polymerase is required by use of a helper virus. Birnaviruses replicate their nucleic acid by a strand displacement (semi-conservative) mechanism, with the RNA polymerase binding to the ends of the double-stranded RNA molecules forming circularized ring structures (Muller & Nitschke, Virology 159, 174-177, 1987). RNA polymerase open reading frame of about 878 amino acids in swinepox virus is expressed and this recombinant virus (S-SPV-044) is used to provide functional IBDV RNA polymerase in trans. Swinpox virus expressed immunologically recognizable foreign antigens in avian cells (CEF cells), where there are no signs of productive replication of the viral vector. In the present invention the IBDV polymerase protein is expressed in the same cells as the transfected RNA using the swinepox vector without contaminating the cells with SPV replication.

With the demonstration that IBD virus is generated in vitro using genomic RNA, an improved live attenuated virus vaccines against infectious bursal disease is developed. Using recombinant DNA technology along with the newly defined system of generating IBD virus, specific deletions within the viral genome, facilitating the construction of attenuated viruses are made. Using this technology, the region of IBDV responsible for virulence and generate attenuated, immunogenic IBDV vaccines are identified. The present invention provides a virulent IBD strain or replacement of the VP2 variable region of the attenuated vaccine backbone with that of a virulent strain, thus protecting against the virulent strain while providing the safety and efficacy of the vaccine strain.

Effects of Rabbit anti-chicken interferon (cIFN) antibody on the growth of Herpes Virus of Turkeys.

Supernatants from SPV/cIFN (SPV 042) infected ESK-4 cells were harvested 48 hours after infection and then concentrated 5-10 times, by Centricon 10 columns (Amicon). One ml of concentrated supernatant was injected into a rabbit 3 times, at 3 week intervals, and then bled. This rabbit antisera was then used in culture to study the effect of interferon on the growth of HVT. It was shown that anti-cIFN reverses the block to HVT (1:200) and VSV(1:80) growth induced by the addition of cIFN in plaque assays. Furthermore, it was shown that the addition of anti-cIFN (1:100) in the media of CEFs transiently transfected with subplaqueing levels of HVT viral DNA, enhances the formation of HVT plaques (200 plaques/well). CEFs transfected with HVT DNA in the absence of anti-cIFN did not yield plaques.

HVT is highly susceptible to interferon produced from CEFs and that when cIFN is blocked, HVT growth is enhanced.

Applications include: (1) Use antibody to cIFN as an additive to increase HVT titers in vaccine stocks; (2) Use antibody to cIFN as an additive to facilitate the formation of new recombinant HVT viruses via cosmid reconstructions.
